Natalie C. Kimball (Cameron) passed away on January 7, 2025, at her home with her son by her side. Born on October 7, 1931, in Brockton, MA, Natalie graced the world with her artistic talents and kind spirit for 93 wonderful years.
Natalie's journey in life was marked by her passion for fashion and creativity. After graduating high school, she moved to New York to pursue her dreams in fashion design, a path that perfectly suited her artistic flair, studying at the Traphagen School of Fashion in NYC. During the early days of her career, Natalie worked as a scientific scale artist, a testament to her skill and dedication in a time before the conveniences of modern technology. After the birth of her three sons, Natalie dedicated her time to raising her family and managing their home.
Throughout her lifetime, Natalie was known for her craftiness and love for handmade creations. She delighted in making clothes and sharing her talents at local church bazaars, showcasing not only her creativity but also her desire to connect with her community.
She cherished the time she spent on cruises with her beloved husband, James Newton Kimball, indulging in adventures that filled their younger years with cherished memories. Together, they shared a beautiful marriage until James's passing in 2023.
Besides her parents, Natalie was preceded in death by her husband, James Newton Kimball, and her siblings, Evelyn, Nancy, and Norman Cameron. She is survived by her sons, James, Jeffrey, and Joel Kimball; her sisters, Gina Smith and Janice Fuller; her grandchildren, James, Jeremy, Jordan and Joel; and her great-grandchildren, Sienna, Rory, Callie, and Benjamin.
Natalie's passing marks the end of an era enriched by her artistry and warmth. Her family finds comfort in the memories and the loving impact she had on their lives.
May her soul rest in peace, and may her spirit continue to inspire creativity and kindness in those that knew her and those that follow.
